I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 287 Immortal Jump and Hundred Cats

Having decided to visit Banyue Lake at night, Gu Yao asked Shadow Changle to go down and get some talisman paper materials, just in case.

It's not against other people, but against Yidie.

Considering that in the legend of Banyue Lake, there are pure yang immortals and fierce gods, who may encounter something, so Gu Yao is also planning to get some silver and purple talismans directly.

To master the art of talisman water, you only need to figure out what kind of talisman effect you want to draw a talisman. You don't need to follow the drawing of the talisman head, talisman gall, and talisman feet.

In fact, Gu Yao is familiar with basic talismans, but he really doesn't know too much about high-end talismans.

Many people think that no matter how strong the Shangqing school talisman is, as long as it is drawn, there is always a chance that other people will learn the above talisman. After a few times of stealing it like this, and then develop it for decades, and develop a few Yangshen, Isn't it possible to steal the world's number one talisman sect?

The main reason is that the spells have complicated procedures. Apart from the runes themselves, they need to set up altars to perform sacrifices, prepare shrines and sacrifices, and even bathe and cleanse themselves. Strictly speaking, when is the rune water made? There are strict regulations on the timing and posture of writing, what steps should be taken in the middle of writing, whether to step hard or to keep in mind.

Most of the rituals that can be used are silver and gold talismans. The process is so complicated and the details are cumbersome that it is impossible to measure it without sincerely teaching it.

The ceremony in the middle is so bad, if you are lucky, you just draw a squib, wasting a lot of precious materials, if you are unlucky, you may have to go west.

Therefore, Maoshan Shangqing is known as the ancestral court of talismans.

Here, Shadow Changle sent people to fetch a bunch of ingredients, many of which Gu Yao had only seen in books, such as Whale Fragrance Cream, which was boiled out of ambergris.

Another example is the blood of the jade-headed bird. This bird is a kind of monster. It eats jade. It has to eat about sixty catties of high-quality jade to grow to the size of a palm. less than.

Another example is the ice lotus with nine petals and eight stamens, which is born in the ice and filled in the ice. It has been in bud for ten years and only blooms for nine days.

Not to mention the talisman paper, all purple, and two silver ones.
Gu Yao was dazzled by the sight, deeply aware that she is a bumpkin, these materials are common to Ying Changle, and the words also revealed that when she was a stand-in before, she would be given some every year.

The royal family is really a big dog.

Wouldn't the chief be able to use the jade head bird as a pet, the whale incense cream as a spice, and the ice lotus as tea?
It was the first time that Gu Yao, who was so rich, took something to grind talisman water, his hands were shaking a little.

"Although there are still a lot of these materials, can you draw like this?" Ying Changle's temper has gradually become gentle, and she has lost her own personality more and more.

Gu Yao asked Die'er to get some Jiyang water to wash his hands: "It's okay, I won't have any problems with my talisman."

The so-called extreme sun water has a big name, but it is actually water that has been basking in the sun for an hour, preferably at noon.

Gu Yao didn't pay much attention, and rubbed the golden light with his hands again, and after a while, he started to do it.

Glancing at Yidie, Gu Yao used his finger as a talisman pen, picked up a splash of emerald green talisman water, and landed on the purple talisman, like a word crawled out by an earthworm, and slowly turned golden red.

"That's it?"

Shadow Changle felt the aura on the talisman paper suddenly become ethereal, and was a little dazed.

"It's done."

Gu Yao washed his fingers and continued to paint Hao.

At night, the watchman had just knocked a watch, and Gu Yao, Die Er, Jing Yin, Shadow Chang Le and Yi Die got into the secret passage.

Going around along the secret road, following his memory for a while, he found an exit and crawled out. Gu Yao heaved a sigh of relief. There was no major problem with his memory, and this exit was at the intersection not far from Zheng Decai's private house.

Cautiously avoiding the guards patrolling the street, she turned on the key and went in. The room was brightly lit, and Zuiyue was sitting in the living room wearing a light gauze, holding a brush and copying the paintings hanging in the hall.

It wasn't surprising that someone was coming from behind, and without turning her head, she said softly, "I thought you would come alone, but I didn't expect to bring so many goddesses here."

Goddess, this word has two meanings, one is a fairy in the sky, and the other refers to a prostitute, and she said it in this tone, which made Shadow Changle frown and displeased: "Who is this flirtatious woman? Why are you a bitch? You brought it out of a brothel?"

Zuiyue brush stopped, got up and turned around, just about to speak, when she saw the shadow of Changle clearly, her pupils shrank: "Princess Changle? How is it possible?"

The change in her attitude was a little too drastic, making Gu Yao look sideways: "What do you know?"

Zuiyue replied with an expression: "It's too unexpected at this time, logically speaking, the Princess shouldn't be"

She closed her mouth, her pointed eyebrows knitting together.

Gu Yao looked at the moonlight: "If you know something, tell me quickly, and what about the map I asked you to copy? No, okay?"

Zuiyue turned around and handed the map to Gu Yao: "It's almost done, but there are some places in the city that haven't been drawn well, but I have drawn the black line that you are particularly concerned about."

"As for Princess Changle, I don't know if I can say it."

Gu Yao took the map, checked it and said, "Someone is going to kill you, what will happen if you tell?"

"This is different. The ones who want to kill me now are Ying Mudao and the second prince. Because of Chunyuandao, they dare not play big hands, at least not on the surface. But if I tell the story of the princess, they will kill me." My people are the imperial family, and even Jing Yesi is added, at that time, no one can save me." Zuiyue gave a wry smile.

Gu Yao thought for a while, then bent down and said: "But Princess Changle is not actually of royal blood, but like the ladies of the Six Gods, they are all born of that kind of gluttony?"

As soon as these words came out, Zuiyue's eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't close her mouth: "You know?!"

It really is.

Finally, I got a definite answer. Although the chief said that his guess was right, he always wanted to prevent the first chief from thinking that he was right. Now that Zuiyue admitted it again, Gu Yao finally confirmed it from the bottom of his heart, and hurriedly asked :
"What happened to Taotie? You have mastered a fierce God Taotie?"

Zuiyue sighed: "How is it possible? The fierce god is not something humans can grasp, it is a claw of Taotie."

"what?"

"It's like this. A hundred years ago, Ying Mudao was defeated by your master, and he was hanged on a tree and humiliated. He was greatly stimulated, and because of this, he lost the opportunity to worship the former chief as his teacher, so he was greatly stimulated. Went out of town and disappeared."

And this?It seems that Ying Mudao and my master and apprentice are at odds, no, in this way, the root of all evil is the old man, old man, you have nothing to hang him for nothing, thinking about climbing the tree every day, Gu Yao complained from the bottom of his heart.

Zuiyue paused for a moment, and gave Gu Yao some time to complain before continuing: "I don't know the specific things after that, but according to the summary of the information I have inquired from various aspects, he accidentally entered the Banyue Lake, where I met a gluttonous claw."

"He couldn't take out the gluttonous claws at that time, and he didn't want to give up this opportunity, so he sat by the lake until one day, the stars fell from the sky one after another, smashing into the lake water, causing a change, and Ying Mudao caught it. This opportunity took out Taotie's claws."

Hearing this, Gu Yao quietly glanced at Yidie, why didn't she say this?Is it too early? The elders in her village didn't say anything?
He communicated with Zuiyue, Yidie didn't know what they were talking about, and was looking at the house curiously.

"What happened after that was that he used the gluttonous claws to display a lot of supernatural powers, and was finally targeted by the royal family. He couldn't refuse the royal family, so he could only rely on his status as the younger brother of the chief executive to fight for a joint development."

"In the end, there was the Lady of the Six Gods and Princess Changle. According to my understanding, the day Princess Changle was created, Ying Mudao was furious."

"This is the secret behind Changlefang." Zuiyue paid attention to the shadow behind Changle and said.

Gu Yao put his fist in front of his mouth, thought for a moment and then said: "But I remember that the legend of Weaver Girl in Changle Square existed a hundred years ago, much earlier than Ying Mudao got Taotie's claws."

Zuiyue nodded and shook her head: "The Weaver Girl in the earliest days was actually a deception."

She explained in a low voice, in fact, the earliest laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty were immature, and the restrictions on spells were limited to murder and cultivation of evil methods, so the founder of Changlefang thought of a clever plan to find some prostitutes who did not pick up customers And Ye Mao, who is proficient in heresy, performed the "immortal jump" on some rich people who have money but no power.

First, get in touch with those rich people, and then find a way to tell them that there is a chance for them to spend a night with the legendary fairies, and then take out the picture scrolls that have been prepared, with those prostitutes on them, and let them choose.

After the selection is made, these rich people will be allowed to go to the rooms they have designated without charging any money. These rooms only have beds and tables, and the beds and tables are separated by a layer of gauze.

They will ask these rich people to bring enough jewelry and jade, as well as the finest silk brocade, etc., as well as the clothes they want the fairies to wear.

When the time is up and the things are ready, they will take the rich man into the house in advance, lock the doors and windows, and then cast spells outside to transfer the naked prostitutes into the house. The rich man will only watch After a puff of thick powder smoke, the clothes on the table gradually puffed up, and a beautiful woman appeared in the smoke, wearing the clothes he had prepared, and had a flirt with him.

Then when the rich man is exhausted, the prostitute takes everything and runs away.

The rich will only know that the things he took out are to honor the fairies, and these "good brothers" who help him realize his dreams are only out of brotherhood.

Later, the fairy became Zhinu, in fact, it was only because Zhinu had a husband, so that prostitutes could recycle.

And that room was the original Changle Square, and it was slowly moved to this place later.

"So the original Changlefang was something like this." The corners of Gu Yao's mouth twitched.

The money spent is more expensive than going to a kiln. It can be said to be exaggerated. You must know that silk brocades can be used as currency, and the royal family rewards silk for this reason. Can't run out.

Coupled with jewelry made of gold, silver and jade, it is a huge profit.

Zuiyue nodded: "The liar who was in Changlefang at the beginning, later entered our Chunyuan Dao, and became an elder to take care of him, so I know this secret."

no wonder
"As for Ying Mudao taking over Changlefang later, she was made out of gluttonous claws, but why he did this has been kept a secret from me." Zuiyue finished speaking.

Gu Yao let out a long breath: "So, why did he kill you?"

That embarrassing look appeared on Zuiyue's face again.

Seeing this, Gu Yao knew it, so he didn't ask any more questions, and looked at the sky: "Since it's not convenient for you to tell, then I won't ask, and leave."

After glancing at the route on the drawing, he folded the map and put it away, Gu Yao turned and left: "Hurry up, before it's too late."

The moment he was about to go out, Zuiyue sent a voice transmission: "Be careful, Taotie's claws have been hiding in Banyue Lake."

Gu Yao froze for a moment, raised his hands and shook his fists, expressing his gratitude.

Dodging the street patrolling guards, the group returned to the tunnel and ran all the way along the map. Many places collapsed in the middle, so they took some detours, and finally came to a blocked stone wall after half an hour.

"According to the map, it is not far from Banyue Lake beyond the stone wall. The problem is that this place has completely collapsed, and there is no other way to go around."

Gu Yao frowned and said, "If I knew I brought Lu Baihou here, it should be considered my job to let him dig the soil."

Jing Yin reached out and knocked twice: "It's a bit thick, should you walk on it?"

"If you can't, you can."

Before Gu Yao finished speaking, Yidie came over and groped with both hands on the stone wall: "I remember this place. When I was brought here, I stayed here for a while. There should be some mechanism."

"you remember?"

"It smells like cat urine." Yidie said while groping the stone wall.

Cat urine, this one said, Gu Yao sniffed it carefully, and actually smelled a very faint smell, and said in amazement: "You can smell this smell?"

Jing Yin and Die Er next to it smelled it for a long time, but they didn't smell anything.

"No, I can't find the agency."

But Die Er came over: "Since it is controlled by an agency, it can be proved that it is connected, and it can be penetrated."

Asking Gu Yao for the robbery sword, Die'er's breath fluctuated, and scarlet flowers spread and bloomed under her feet, slowly covering the stone wall.

The breath of the ghost master was released, and the surroundings became cold and dark.

"felt it."

Die'er was about to break the stone wall, but suddenly said, and then lost her strength, and raised her finger, a pair of ghost eyes appeared in front of her finger.

This is a pair of vertical cat pupils!

Die'er pointed out that the cat's eye was surrounded by countless red flowers for a moment, forming a rice dumpling shape in the air. Die'er waved her finger again, and an invisible blade swung across. broken.

Immediately the safflower faded, revealing the stone wall again.

It's just that on the stone wall this time, there is a colorful picture of a hundred cats. The group of cats crowded the stone wall, which seems to be chaotic, but in fact they are in harmony with each other, which coincides with the trend of the Nine Palaces.

Gu Yao wanted to count the number, but when he looked carefully, he was a little dizzy, and then realized that the picture of a hundred cats was actually a talisman, a magical talisman made of cats.

After realizing this, he no longer looks at the whole picture, but looks at the individual.

They are tall, round-toothed, and full-bodied. Although there are many colors, they are all the best among cats. The black ones are like dark clouds and snow, the white ones are like jade bottles with silver hooks, the tiger stripes are like rolling hydrangea balls, and the orange ones are as fat as tigers. .

In the middle of the picture of the hundred cats, there is a weird dog. This dog should be extremely eye-catching in the middle, but no matter how you look at it, you always ignore it subconsciously, and you can't see it until the end.

The dog looked ordinary, it was just a small brown dog from an ordinary family's nursing home, it was really weird to be caught in such a group of cats.
